'The Congress leader must offer a public apology especially since he made the statements while visiting Odisha,' Pradhan said.

Rahul voices concern over law & order, attacks govt
Patna: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Bihar govt, claiming the state has turned into India's "crime capital" under CM Nitish Kumar 's leadership. His remarks came amid growing concerns over a spike in violent crimes across the state. Posting on social media platform X, Gandhi cited media reports highlighting 31 murders in just 11 days and alleged the rise of a "contract killing industry" in Bihar. His post, written in Hindi, painted a grim picture of the state's current situation: "Fear lurks in every alley, unease pervades every home while unemployed youth are being transformed into killers." He did not hold back in his criticism of both the CM and the BJP. Gandhi alleged that Nitish was more focused on preserving his power than addressing the state's law and order crisis. "The CM is busy protecting his chair and BJP ministers are busy collecting commission," he claimed. The Congress MP argued that the upcoming assembly elections were not just about political change but about saving Bihar from a dangerous descent into lawlessness. "This election is not just about changing the government. It is about saving Bihar," he wrote. His remarks gained traction following the murder of prominent businessman Gopal Khemka, who was shot dead outside his Patna home on July 4. Khemka's son had also been murdered seven years earlier in Hajipur. The incident has become emblematic of what opposition leaders describe as a breakdown in public safety. Gandhi's comments reflect a rising chorus of concern over Bihar's security situation. Opposition parties say the combination of soaring crime rates and "administrative inaction" has created a climate of fear with residents feeling vulnerable.

Maharashtra govt wants Public Security Act to supress common man, says Congress state chief
Mumbai: MPCC president Harshawardhan Sapkal on Monday said CM Devendra Fadnavis's claim that the Public Security Act has been introduced to eliminate urban Naxalism is laughable. "This law is draconian inside and out and is meant to suppress the common people. Therefore, the Congress party has opposed it from the very beginning," Sapkal said. Sapkal said despite the ruling party having passed the bill using their majority in the assembly, the Congress-led opposition remains strong and there will be symbolic burning of the new legislation across the state.

"Those who have grabbed land in Dharavi, looted mineral resources in Surajagad and want red carpet access for the Shaktipeeth highway," Sapkal said.

DMK's student wing holds protest in Coimbatore against Palaniswami's remarks on temple funds
The DMK's student wing held a protest in Coimbatore on Monday condemning AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami's remarks on the use of temple funds for educational institutions. The demonstration, held at Tatabad in Coimbatore city, also criticised the BJP-led Union government's education policies. Led by student wing secretary R. Rajiv Gandhi, the protest saw participation from party MPs K. Prakash and Ganapathi P. Rajkumar, district secretaries, and office-bearers of the students' wing. Addressing the gathering, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi said Mr. Palaniswami had remained silent during his tenure as Chief Minister on issues such as NEET and the National Education Policy, and was now criticising the use of temple funds without understanding their purpose. He alleged that the BJP was scripting Mr. Palaniswami's statements and accused him of aligning with RSS-backed narratives. The protesters also criticised the withdrawal of scholarships that were earlier available to minority students under schemes named after A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Maulana Azad. They said the DMK government had stepped in to support the affected students. Slogans were raised condemning Mr. Palaniswami and the Union government, with participants rejecting what they described as politically motivated narratives against the Dravidian model of governance.
